Description

안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치Safety belt safety device
본 발명은 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치에 관한 것으로서, 특히 차량의 탑승자가 안전벨트를 부정한 방법으로 착용하는 것을 방지할 수 있는 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a device for preventing improper wearing of a seat belt, and particularly to a device for preventing improper wearing of a seat belt that can prevent an occupant of a vehicle from wearing a seat belt in an illegal manner.
일반적으로 안전벨트는, 사고 시 충격으로부터 보호하기 위해 차량의 탑승자를 좌석에 고정시키는 안전장치이다. 통상 교통사고 발생시 차량 내부에서 사망할 확률은 6%에 불과하지만, 차량 밖으로 튕겨져 나갈 경우에는 사망률이 6배나 증가하는바, 안전벨트는 사고의 충격을 흡수하고 탑승자가 차량 밖으로 튕겨 나가지 않도록 하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 또한, 안전벨트 미착용시 사망률이 4배 증가한다는 연구결과가 있다.In general, a seat belt is a safety device that secures vehicle occupants to their seats to protect them from impact during an accident. Normally, when a traffic accident occurs, the probability of death inside the vehicle is only 6%, but if you are thrown out of the vehicle, the death rate increases by six times. Seat belts play an important role in absorbing the shock of an accident and preventing passengers from being thrown out of the vehicle. Do it. Additionally, research has shown that the death rate increases four-fold when seat belts are not worn.
이에 따라 근래 출시된 차량에는 시트에 있는 압력센서에 압력이 작용하여 사람이 착석했다는 것이 인식되었을 때 수버클을 암버클에 체결하지 않게 되면 안전벨트를 착용하지 않은 것으로 판단하여 경고음을 발생시키는 기능이 적용되어 안전벨트의 착용을 유도하고 있다.Accordingly, recently released vehicles have a function that determines that the seat belt is not worn and generates a warning sound if the male buckle is not fastened to the female buckle when pressure is applied to the pressure sensor on the seat and it is recognized that a person is seated. It is being applied to encourage the wearing of seat belts.
그러나, 여전히 많은 탑승자가 안전벨트를 착용하지 않거나 부정하게 착용하고 있다. 일 예로, 차량의 마련된 안전벨트를 착용하지 않고 암버클에 벨트가 연결되지 않은 수버클 클립만을 꽂아 경고음이 발생되지 않도록 한다. 다른 일 예로, 암버클에 벨트가 연결된 수버클을 꽂기는 하되, 벨트 클립을 이용하여 벨트를 느슨하게 하거나 벨트가 탑승자의 등 뒤에 위치되도록 수버클과 암버클을 연결한다.However, many passengers still do not wear seat belts or wear them improperly. For example, instead of wearing the vehicle's seat belt, only a male buckle clip with no belt connected to the female buckle is inserted to prevent the warning sound from occurring. As another example, a male buckle connected to a belt is inserted into a female buckle, but the belt is loosened using a belt clip, or the male buckle and female buckle are connected so that the belt is located behind the passenger's back.
사고로 인한 충격을 흡수하고 몸을 단단히 고정시켜 2차, 3차 피해를 최소화해 주는 안전벨트이지만, 상술한 바와 같이 착용을 하지 않는 경우는 물론, 바르게 착용하지 않는 경우에도 큰 피해를 야기할 수 있으므로 안전벨트를 바르게 착용할 수 있도록 할 필요가 있다.It is a seat belt that absorbs the shock caused by an accident and secures the body to minimize secondary and tertiary damage, but as mentioned above, it can cause serious damage not only if not worn, but also if not worn correctly. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the seat belt is worn correctly.
본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로서 탑승자가 안전벨트를 부정한 방법으로 착용하는 것을 효과적으로 방지할 수 있어 탑승자의 안전을 확보할 수 있는 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치를 제공함에 목적이 있다.

본 발명의 권리범위는 이하에서 설명하는 실시예에 한정되는 것은 아니며, 본 발명의 기술적 요지를 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 당해 기술분야의 통상적인 지식을 가진자에 의하여 다양하게 변형 실시될 수 있다.The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical gist of the present invention.
이하, 본 발명인 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치는 첨부된 도 1 내지 도 9를 참고로 상세하게 설명한다. Hereinafter, the device for preventing improper seat belt wearing of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 to 9.
본 발명인 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치는, 도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 차량의 시트 부근에 마련되는 암버클(100)을 비롯하여, 암버클(100)과 체결되며 벨트(300)가 관통되는 관통홀(200a)이 형성된 수버클(200), 그리고 암버클(100), 수버클(200) 및 벨트(300)를 포함하는 안전벨트의 정상 착용 여부를 판별하는 제어부(500)를 포함한다.As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the device for preventing improper seat belt wear is fastened to the arm buckle 100, including the arm buckle 100 provided near the seat of the vehicle, and has a belt 300 passing through it. It includes a male buckle 200 having a through hole 200a, and a control unit 500 that determines whether the seat belt including the female buckle 100, the male buckle 200, and the belt 300 is worn normally.
암버클(100)은, 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 수버클(200)의 걸쇠가 내측에 삽입되어 고정될 수 있는 끼움홈이 상단으로부터 소정의 깊이까지 형성되어 있으며, 끼움홈 내에 고정된 수버클(200)의 걸쇠가 외부로 빠져나올 수 있도록 걸쇠의 고정을 해제하는 해제버튼이 끼움홈과 인접한 부분에 구비될 수 있다.As shown in FIG. 1, the female buckle 100 has a fitting groove through which the shackle of the male buckle 200 can be inserted and fixed inside and is formed from the top to a predetermined depth, and the male buckle fixed in the fitting groove A release button that releases the fixation of the latch so that the latch of (200) can be released to the outside may be provided in a portion adjacent to the fitting groove.
또한, 암버클(100)에는, 도면에 도시되지 않았으나 수버클(200)과의 체결시 안전벨트의 착용이 이루어졌음을 1차적으로 감지하는 체결감지센서가 구비될 수 있으며, 체결감지센서는 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)의 체결 여부를 제어부(500)로 전송할 수 있다. In addition, the female buckle 100, although not shown in the drawing, may be provided with a fastening detection sensor that primarily detects that the seat belt is worn when fastened with the male buckle 200, and the fastening detection sensor is a female buckle 200. Whether the buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened may be transmitted to the control unit 500.
그리고 암버클(100)은 차량의 시트 일측편에서 끼움홈이 상측을 향하도록 세워지게 마련될 수 있으며, 시트를 향해 수직에 대하여 예각을 이루도록 세워질 수 있다. 즉, 암버클(100)은 벨트(300)가 탑승자를 전방을 감싸면서 수버클(200)이 체결될 시, 도 3 및 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 수직에 대하여 예각을 이루는 정상착용각도범위(예를 들어, 수직에 대하여 10°~40°) 내에 위치된다. Additionally, the arm buckle 100 may be erected on one side of the seat of the vehicle with the fitting groove facing upward, and may be erected at an acute angle with respect to the vertical toward the seat. That is, when the male buckle 200 is fastened while the belt 300 surrounds the front of the passenger, the female buckle 100 has a normal wearing angle range ( For example, it is located within 10° to 40° relative to the vertical.
이러한 암버클(100)에는 도 4, 도 6, 도 8에 도시된 바와 같이 암버클(100)의 기울어짐을 측정하는 기울기 센서(110)가 구비될 수 있다. 기울기 센서(110)는 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결되면 암버클(100)이 기울어진 정도를 측정하여 이를 제어부(500)로 전송하고, 제어부(500)는 기울기 센서(100)에 의해 측정된 암버클(100)의 기울기가 사전에 설정된 정상착용각도범위 내에 포함되는지 판별한 후, 정상착용각도범위 내이면 안전벨트를 정상 착용한 것으로 판단하고, 정상착용각도범위를 벗어나면 안전벨트를 부정 착용한 것으로 판단할 수 있다. This female buckle 100 may be provided with a tilt sensor 110 that measures the tilt of the female buckle 100, as shown in FIGS. 4, 6, and 8. When the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened, the tilt sensor 110 measures the degree to which the female buckle 100 is tilted and transmits it to the control unit 500, and the control unit 500 controls the tilt sensor 100. ) After determining whether the inclination of the arm buckle 100 measured by is within the preset normal wearing angle range, it is determined that the seat belt is worn normally if it is within the normal wearing angle range, and if it is outside the normal wearing angle range, it is determined that the seat belt is worn normally. It can be judged that the seat belt was worn illegally.
예를 들어, 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이 탑승자가 벨트(300)가 연결된 수버클(200)을 암버클(100)에 체결한 후, 벨트(300)가 등 뒤에 위치되게끔 시트에 착석하는 경우, 정상 착용시 탑승자의 복부를 둘러싸야 되는 벨트(300) 부분이 탑승자를 둘러싸지 않음에 따라 암버클(100)의 상부가 시트 쪽으로 당겨지게 된다. 이때, 암버클(100)은 도 6에 도시된 바와 같이 정상착용각도범위를 벗어난 상태를 이루는바, 기울기 센서(110)를 통한 제어부(500)의 판별로 이러한 안전벨트의 부정 착용을 판단할 수 있다. For example, as shown in Figure 5, when the passenger fastens the male buckle 200 to which the belt 300 is connected to the female buckle 100 and then sits on the seat so that the belt 300 is located behind the back. , As the part of the belt 300 that should surround the occupant's abdomen when worn normally does not surround the occupant, the upper part of the arm buckle 100 is pulled toward the seat. At this time, the arm buckle 100 is outside the normal wearing angle range as shown in FIG. 6, and improper wearing of the seat belt can be determined based on the determination of the control unit 500 through the tilt sensor 110. there is.
수버클(200)은, 도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 암버클(100)의 끼움홈에 삽입되어 고정될 수 있는 걸쇠가 하부에 구비되고, 그 상측으로 벨트(300)가 관통되는 관통홀(200a)이 형성된다. 벨트(300)는 도 3 내지 도 8에 도시된 바와 같이 관통홀(200a)에서 방향 전환이 이루어지며, 관통홀(200a)을 중심으로 탑승자의 복부를 감싸는 부분과, 탑승자의 복부 및 가슴을 지나면서 탑승자를 대각선으로 감싸는 부분으로 구분될 수 있다. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the male buckle 200 is provided with a latch at the bottom that can be inserted and fixed into the fitting groove of the female buckle 100, and has a penetrating hole through which the belt 300 passes through. A hole 200a is formed. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, the belt 300 changes direction at the through hole 200a, and passes through a portion surrounding the occupant's abdomen centered on the through hole 200a and the occupant's abdomen and chest. It can be divided into a part that surrounds the occupant diagonally.
그리고 수버클(200)에는, 방향 전환이 이루어지는 벨트(300) 부분에 의해 가해지는 압력을 측정할 수 있는 제1 압력센서(210)가 구비된다. 일 예로, 제1 압력센서(210)는 도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 관통홀(200a)의 상단에 구비될 수 있으며, 방향 전환이 이루어지는 벨트(300)의 내측에 위치될 수 있다. 이때 제1 압력센서(210)는 소정의 길이를 가지게끔 구비될 수 있다. 다른 일 예로, 제1 압력센서(210)는 도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 걸쇠의 하단에 구비될 수 있다. And the male buckle 200 is provided with a first pressure sensor 210 that can measure the pressure applied by the part of the belt 300 where the direction change occurs. For example, the first pressure sensor 210 may be provided at the top of the through hole 200a as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and may be located inside the belt 300 where the direction is changed. At this time, the first pressure sensor 210 may be provided to have a predetermined length. As another example, the first pressure sensor 210 may be provided at the bottom of the latch as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
이 경우 제어부(500)는 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결된 상태에서 제1 압력센서(210)에 의해 제1 설정압 이상이 측정되지 않을 시 안전벨트를 부정 착용한 것으로 판단한다. In this case, the control unit 500 determines that the seat belt has been improperly worn when the first set pressure or more is not measured by the first pressure sensor 210 while the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened. do.
일 예로, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이 벨트(300)가 탑승자의 상체를 감싸면서 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결되는 안전벨트의 정상 착용 시, 벨트(300)는 탑승자의 상체에 밀착되는바, 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 방향 전환이 이루어지는 벨트(300) 부분에 의해 제1 압력센서(210)에 소정의 압력이 가해지게 된다. 이때, 제1 압력센서(210)는 측정된 소정의 압력을 제어부(500)로 전송하고, 제어부(500)는 소정의 압력이 제1 설정압 이상이므로, 안전벨트를 정상 착용한 것으로 판단한다. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the seat belt is normally worn in which the belt 300 surrounds the upper body of the occupant and the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened, the belt 300 is attached to the upper body of the occupant. As it is in close contact with the belt 300, a predetermined pressure is applied to the first pressure sensor 210 by the portion of the belt 300 that changes direction as shown in FIG. 4. At this time, the first pressure sensor 210 transmits the measured pressure to the control unit 500, and the control unit 500 determines that the seat belt is normally worn because the predetermined pressure is higher than the first set pressure.
다른 일 예로, 탑승자가 안전벨트를 착용하지 않고, 벨트(300)가 연결되지 않은 수버클 클립을 꽂은 경우, 수버클 클립에는 압력센서 자체가 없으므로 압력이 측정되지 않을 것이며 제어부(500)로 압력에 대한 정보가 전송되지 못할 것이다. 따라서, 제어부(500)는 암버클(100)과 수버클 클립이 체결되어 압력에 대한 정보를 전송받지 못하므로, 안전벨트를 부정 착용한 것으로 판단한다.As another example, if the passenger is not wearing a seat belt and inserts a male buckle clip to which the belt 300 is not connected, the pressure will not be measured because the male buckle clip does not have a pressure sensor itself, and the pressure will be measured by the control unit 500. Information will not be transmitted. Accordingly, the control unit 500 determines that the seat belt has been improperly worn because the female buckle 100 and the male buckle clip are fastened and information about the pressure is not transmitted.
만약, 상술한 바와 같은 수버클 클립으로 인한 안전벨트의 부정 착용 판단을 무력화하기 위하여, 압력감지 센서를 부착하여 항상 일정 압력 이상이 측정되게 하는 수버클 클립을 제작하여 장착할 수도 있는바, 이러한 상황을 방지하고자 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)의 결합시 전자키처럼 암버클(100)에 맞는 키의 정보를 수버클(200)에 입력시켜 놓을 수 있다. 즉, 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)은, 암호키가 설정되어, 암버클(100)은 동일 차량 내에 설치된 수버클(200)만을 인식하도록 할 수 있다.In order to neutralize the judgment of improper wearing of a seat belt due to the male buckle clip as described above, it is possible to manufacture and install a male buckle clip with a pressure sensor attached so that a pressure above a certain level is always measured. To prevent this, when the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are combined, the information of the key suitable for the female buckle 100 can be entered into the male buckle 200 like an electronic key. That is, an encryption key is set for the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200, so that the female buckle 100 can recognize only the male buckle 200 installed in the same vehicle.
또다른 일 예로, 도 7 및 도 8에 도시된 바와 같이 벨트(300)가 탑승자의 상체를 감싸면서 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결되되, 벨트(300)가 느슨하게끔 벨트클립(10)을 벨트(300)에 체결한 경우, 방향전환이 이루어지는 벨트(300) 부분이 제1 압력센서(210)에 가하는 힘은 정상 착용시보다 약하여 제1 압력센서(210)는 제1 설정압 미만의 압력이 측정될 것이다. 따라서, 제어부(500)는 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결되어 있음에도, 제1 압력센서(210)에 의해 측정된 압력이 제1 설정압 미만인바, 탑승자가 안전벨트를 부정 착용한 것으로 판단한다.As another example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened while the belt 300 surrounds the upper body of the occupant, but the belt clip is used to loosen the belt 300. When (10) is fastened to the belt 300, the force applied by the part of the belt 300 where the direction change occurs to the first pressure sensor 210 is weaker than when worn normally, so the first pressure sensor 210 is set to the first setting. A pressure below pressure will be measured. Therefore, the control unit 500 determines that even though the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened, the pressure measured by the first pressure sensor 210 is less than the first set pressure, and the occupant is incorrectly wearing the seat belt. It is judged that it was done.
그리고 상술한 바와 같이 제1 압력센서(210)가 소정의 길이를 가지면서 관통홀(200a)의 상단에 구비되는 경우, 제어부(500)는 제1 압력센서(210)에서 압력이 가해지는 부위를 분석하여, 안전벨트를 정상 착용한 경우와 안전벨트를 등 뒤로 부정 착용한 경우를 판단할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 제어부(500)는 탑승자가 착석하지 않은 상태에서 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 결합된 상태에서 제1 압력센서(210)를 통해 측정되는 압력과 해당 압력이 작용되는 부위를 전송받아 이를 기준점으로 설정할 수 있다. And, as described above, when the first pressure sensor 210 has a predetermined length and is provided at the top of the through hole 200a, the control unit 500 selects the area where pressure is applied in the first pressure sensor 210. Through analysis, it is possible to determine when the seat belt is worn properly and when the seat belt is improperly worn behind the back. For example, the control unit 500 controls the pressure measured through the first pressure sensor 210 and the pressure applied when the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are combined with the occupant not seated. You can receive the part and set it as a reference point.
탑승자가 안전벨트를 정상 착용한 경우와, 탑승자가 안전벨트를 등 뒤에 위치되도록 하는 경우는 상기 기준점을 중심으로 힘이 작용하는 방향이 반대인바, 제어부(500)는 제1 압력센서(210)에 압력이 가해지는 부위가 기준점 대비 어느 방향으로 편중되었는지를 분석하여 안전벨트의 부정 착용 여부를 판단할 수 있다. 또한, 제어부(500)는 제1 압력센서(210)에서 압력이 가해지는 부위에 작용되는 압력 강도를 분석하여 안전벨트의 부정 착용 여부를 판단할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 안전벨트를 정상 착용하는 경우 제1 압력센서(210) 전 부위에 고른 압력이 가해지는 반면, 안전벨트를 등 뒤로 부정 착용한 경우 제1 압력센서(210)의 일단 또는 타단 측으로 편중된 압력이 가해질 것이다. When the passenger wears the seat belt normally and when the passenger places the seat belt behind the back, the direction in which the force acts around the reference point is opposite, and the control unit 500 detects the first pressure sensor 210. It is possible to determine whether the seat belt has been improperly worn by analyzing which direction the area to which pressure is applied is biased compared to the reference point. Additionally, the control unit 500 can determine whether the seat belt has been improperly worn by analyzing the intensity of pressure applied to the area where pressure is applied by the first pressure sensor 210. For example, when the seat belt is worn normally, pressure is applied evenly to all parts of the first pressure sensor 210, whereas when the seat belt is improperly worn behind the back, pressure is applied to one end or the other end of the first pressure sensor 210. pressure will be applied.
한편, 수버클(200)은 도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 관통홀(200a)의 상측에 위치되는 상부에 제2 압력센서(220)가 적어도 일측편에 구비될 수 있다. 벨트(300)는 관통홀(200a)에서 방향 전환이 이루어지는바, 수버클(200)의 상부에는 양측편으로 벨트(300)가 지나간다. 즉, 제2 압력센서(220)는 수버클(200)의 상부에 인접하게 지나는 벨트(300) 부분이 가하는 힘을 측정한다. 그리고 제어부(500)는 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결된 상태에서 제2 압력센서(220)에 의해 측정된 압력이 정상착용기준과 부정착용기준으로 나뉘어진 착용기준의 어느 족에 속하는지를 분석하여 안전벨트의 정상착용과 부정착용을 판단한다.Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the male buckle 200 may be provided with a second pressure sensor 220 on at least one side of the upper portion located above the through hole 200a. The belt 300 changes direction at the through hole 200a, and the belt 300 passes on both sides of the upper part of the male buckle 200. That is, the second pressure sensor 220 measures the force applied by the portion of the belt 300 passing adjacent to the upper part of the male buckle 200. And the control unit 500 determines whether the pressure measured by the second pressure sensor 220 in a state in which the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened determines which of the wearing standards are divided into normal wearing standards and improper wearing standards. It is analyzed whether the seat belt is properly worn or improperly worn.
제1 실시예로, 제2 압력센서(220)에 의해 측정된 압력이 제2 설정압 미만인 경우를 정상착용기준, 제2 압력센서(220)에 의해 측정된 압력이 제2 설정압 이상인 경우를 부정착용기준으로 하는 착용기준을 설정한 경우, 정상착용과 부정착용을 판단하는 예에 대하여 살펴보면 다음과 같다. In the first embodiment, the normal wearing standard is when the pressure measured by the second pressure sensor 220 is less than the second set pressure, and the case where the pressure measured by the second pressure sensor 220 is more than the second set pressure is When a wearing standard is set as an illegal wearing standard, an example of judging normal wear and illegal wearing is as follows.
일 예로, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이 벨트(300)가 탑승자의 상체를 감싸면서 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결되는 안전벨트의 정상 착용 시, 암버클(100)은 정상착용각도범위 내에 위치될 것인바, 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 수버클(200)의 상부와 인접하게 지나는 벨트(300) 부분은 제2 압력센서(220)와 맞닿지 않거나 맞닿더라도 제2 설정압 미만인 소정의 압력이 측정될 것이다. 이때, 제2 압력센서(220)는 측정된 소정의 압력을 제어부(500)로 전송하고, 제어부(500)는 소정의 압력이 제2 설정압 미만이므로, 안전벨트를 정상 착용한 것으로 판단한다. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the seat belt is normally worn in which the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened while the belt 300 surrounds the upper body of the occupant, the female buckle 100 is normally worn. It will be located within the angular range, and as shown in FIG. 4, the portion of the belt 300 passing adjacent to the upper part of the male buckle 200 does not contact the second pressure sensor 220, or even if it contacts, it is less than the second set pressure. A predetermined pressure will be measured. At this time, the second pressure sensor 220 transmits the measured pressure to the control unit 500, and the control unit 500 determines that the seat belt is worn normally because the predetermined pressure is less than the second set pressure.
다른 일 예로, 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이 탑승자가 벨트(300)가 연결된 수버클(200)을 암버클(100)에 체결한 후, 벨트(300)가 등 뒤에 위치되게끔 시트에 착석하는 경우, 도 6에 도시된 바와 같이 암버클(100)이 정상착용각도범위를 벗어나 시트를 향해 기울어지게 되며, 암버클(100)을 지지하는 지지대가 원위치로 복귀하고자 하는 힘에 의해, 수버클(200)의 상부와 인접하게 지나는 벨트(300) 부분은 제2 압력센서(220)를 가압하게 되는바, 제2 압력센서(220)는 제2 설정압 이상이 측정될 것이다. 따라서, 제어부(500)는 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결되어 있고 제1 압력센서(210)에서 정상 압력이 측정되더라도, 제2 압력센서(220)에 의해 측정된 압력이 제2 설정압 이상인바, 탑승자가 안전벨트를 부정 착용한 것으로 판단한다.As another example, as shown in Figure 5, when the passenger fastens the male buckle 200 to which the belt 300 is connected to the female buckle 100 and then sits on the seat so that the belt 300 is located behind the back. 6, the female buckle 100 is tilted toward the seat beyond the normal wearing angle range, and the support for supporting the female buckle 100 returns to its original position due to the force of the male buckle 200. ) The portion of the belt 300 that passes adjacent to the upper part presses the second pressure sensor 220, and the second pressure sensor 220 will measure a pressure higher than the second set pressure. Therefore, even if the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened and the normal pressure is measured by the first pressure sensor 210, the control unit 500 determines that the pressure measured by the second pressure sensor 220 is the 2 Since the pressure is above the set point, it is determined that the passenger has improperly worn the seat belt.
제2 실시예로, 안전벨트를 부정착용하는 상태에서 제2 압력센서(220)를 통해 측정된 압력의 근사 범위까지를 부정착용기준, 부정착용기준에 해당되는 압력 범위 이외를 정상착용기준으로 하는 착용기준을 설정한 경우, 정상착용과 부정착용을 판단하는 예에 대하여 살펴보면 다음과 같다. In a second embodiment, the approximate range of the pressure measured through the second pressure sensor 220 in a state of improperly wearing the seat belt is the standard for improper wearing, and the standard for normal wearing is the pressure range other than the range corresponding to the improper wearing standard. When a wearing standard is set, an example of judging normal wear and incorrect wear is as follows.
일 예로, 탑승자가 벨트(300)가 연결된 수버클(200)을 암버클(100)에 체결한 후, 벨트(300)가 등 뒤에 위치되게끔 시트에 착석하는 경우를 방지하기 위한 것으로, 제어부(500)는 탑승자가 착석하지 않은 상태에서 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 결합된 상태에서 제2 압력센서(220)를 통해 측정되는 압력을 전송받아 이를 기준점으로 설정할 수 있다. 이는 탑승자의 체형이 모두 다르며, 차량의 시트 또한 차량마다 상이하므로 암버클(100)이 설치되는 위치가 조금씩 달라, 제2 압력센서(220)에 의해 측정되는 압력값이 달라질 수 있기 때문이다. As an example, this is to prevent the case where the passenger fastens the male buckle 200 to which the belt 300 is connected to the female buckle 100 and then sits on the seat so that the belt 300 is located behind the back. The control unit ( 500) can receive the pressure measured through the second pressure sensor 220 in a state in which the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are combined without the occupant seated, and set this as a reference point. This is because the body types of all occupants are different, and vehicle seats are also different for each vehicle, so the location where the arm buckle 100 is installed is slightly different, and the pressure value measured by the second pressure sensor 220 may vary.
기준점이 설정된 상태에서, 탑승자가 벨트(300)가 연결된 수버클(200)을 암버클(100)에 체결한 후 벨트(300)를 등 뒤로 위치시키는 상황을 고려하여, 벨트(300)가 시트의 등받이에 맞닿도록 하고, 이때 제2 압력센서(220)에 가해지는 압력을 측정하여 측정된 압력의 근사 범위까지 제어부(500)는 부정착용기준으로 설정하고, 이에 해당되면 안전벨트를 부정 착용한 것으로 간주한다. 이 경우 암버클(100)의 설치 위치, 수버클(200)의 형태, 제2 압력센서(220)의 위치 등을 조절하여, 벨트(300)를 등 뒤로 부정 착용하는 상황시 제2 압력센서(220)에 압력이 무조건 발생될 수 있도록 함이 바람직하다. With the reference point set, considering the situation where the passenger fastens the male buckle 200 to which the belt 300 is connected to the female buckle 100 and then places the belt 300 behind the back, the belt 300 is positioned on the seat. It is brought into contact with the backrest, and at this time, the pressure applied to the second pressure sensor 220 is measured and the control unit 500 sets the standard for improper wearing up to the approximate range of the measured pressure, and if this is met, the seat belt is considered to have been improperly worn. Considered. In this case, by adjusting the installation position of the female buckle 100, the shape of the male buckle 200, and the position of the second pressure sensor 220, the second pressure sensor ( 220) It is desirable to ensure that pressure can be generated unconditionally.
이와 반대로, 탑승자가 안전벨트를 정상 착용하면, 벨트(300)를 등 뒤로 부정 착용하는 경우와 반대방향인, 기준점에 대하여 전방을 향해 힘이 작용될 것이다. 다만, 탑승자의 체형에 따라 벨트(300)가 이동되는 정도가 달라지기는 하나, 체형이 다르다 하더라도 기준점에 대하여 전방인 시트의 반대방향으로 벨트(300)가 움직이는 것은 동일하다. 이 경우 벨트(300)가 시트의 반대방향으로 이동되었을 때, 제2 압력센서(220)에 압력이 거의 가해지지 않도록, 암버클(100)의 설치 위치, 수버클(200)의 형태, 제2 압력센서(220)의 위치 등을 조절함이 바람직하다.On the contrary, if the passenger wears the seat belt properly, the force will be applied forward with respect to the reference point, which is the opposite direction to the case where the belt 300 is improperly worn behind the back. However, the degree to which the belt 300 moves varies depending on the body type of the occupant, but even if the body shape is different, the belt 300 moves in the opposite direction of the seat forward with respect to the reference point. In this case, when the belt 300 is moved in the opposite direction of the seat, the installation position of the female buckle 100, the shape of the male buckle 200, and the second pressure sensor 220 are adjusted so that little pressure is applied to the second pressure sensor 220. It is desirable to adjust the position of the pressure sensor 220.
그러나, 차량마다 시트의 형태 및 위치가 다르고, 암버클(100)의 위치 및 수버클(200)의 형태가 모두 상이하므로, 안전벨트를 정상착용시 제2 압력센서(220)에 압력이 가해질 수 있도록 시트, 암버클(100)의 위치 및 수버클(200)의 형태를 정할 수 있다. 이때, 탑승자가 벨트(300)가 연결된 수버클(200)을 암버클(100)에 체결한 후 벨트(300)를 등 뒤로 위치시키는 부정착용 시, 제2 압력센서(220)와 벨트(300)가 맞닿지 않아 압력이 측정되지 않도록 암버클(100)의 위치 및 수버클(200)의 형태를 정할 수 있다. 이러한 경우, 제2 압력센서(220)가 제1 압력센서(210)의 역할도 할 수 있는바, 제1 압력센서(210)가 필요치 않다.However, since the shape and position of the seat are different for each vehicle, and the position of the female buckle 100 and the shape of the male buckle 200 are all different, pressure may be applied to the second pressure sensor 220 when the seat belt is normally worn. The position of the seat, the female buckle 100, and the shape of the male buckle 200 can be determined. At this time, when the passenger fastens the male buckle 200 to which the belt 300 is connected to the female buckle 100 and then places the belt 300 behind the back, the second pressure sensor 220 and the belt 300 The position of the female buckle 100 and the shape of the male buckle 200 can be determined so that the pressure is not measured because they do not contact each other. In this case, the second pressure sensor 220 can also serve as the first pressure sensor 210, so the first pressure sensor 210 is not necessary.
이처럼 차량마다 제2 압력센서(220)에 의해 측정된 값에 따른 정상착용기준과 부정착용기준이 달라질 것이므로, 차량에 맞게끔 착용기준을 설정하고 이를 분석하여 안전벨트의 정상착용과 부정착용을 판단함이 바람직하다.In this way, the normal wearing standards and incorrect wearing standards will vary for each vehicle according to the value measured by the second pressure sensor 220, so the wearing standards are set to suit the vehicle and analyzed to determine normal or improper wearing of the seat belt. It is desirable to do so.
한편, 벨트(300)가 연결되지 않은 수버클 클립과, 벨트(300)를 느슨하게 하는 벨트클립의 사용만을 막고자 할 시, 제1 압력센서(210)는 압력의 강도만 측정하는 센서를 장착하면 가능하다. 따라서, 이때에는 반드시 제1 압력센서(210)는 압력의 강도 및 위치를 측정하는 센서일 필요가 없으며, 제2 압력센서(220), 기울기 센서(110)를 구비할 필요가 없다.On the other hand, in order to prevent the use of only buckle clips that are not connected to the belt 300 and belt clips that loosen the belt 300, the first pressure sensor 210 can be equipped with a sensor that measures only the intensity of pressure. possible. Therefore, in this case, the first pressure sensor 210 does not necessarily need to be a sensor that measures the intensity and position of pressure, and there is no need to include the second pressure sensor 220 and the tilt sensor 110.
또한, 상술한 본 발명에서 탑승자가 벨트(300)를 등 뒤로 부정 착용하는 경우를 막을 수 있는 구성으로, 압력의 강도 및 위치를 측정할 수 있는 제1 압력센서(210), 제2 압력센서(220), 기울기 센서(110)를 제안하였으나, 반드시 3개의 구성 모두 설치될 필요는 없으며, 어느 하나만으로도 충분한 목적 달성이 가능하다.In addition, in the present invention described above, it is configured to prevent the occupant from improperly wearing the belt 300 behind the back, and includes a first pressure sensor 210 that can measure the intensity and position of pressure, a second pressure sensor ( 220), the tilt sensor 110 was proposed, but all three configurations do not necessarily need to be installed, and any one alone can sufficiently achieve the purpose.
그리고 본 발명은 안전벨트의 부정 착용을 방지하는 목표를 달성하기 위하여 벨트(300)에 가해지는 압력을 벨트(300)에 압력센서를 설치하여 측정하는 것이 아니라, 견고한 수버클(200)에 압력센서를 설치하여 측정함으로써 비용을 절감함과 더불어 구조를 단순화시킬 수 있다. In order to achieve the goal of preventing unauthorized wearing of the seat belt, the present invention does not measure the pressure applied to the belt 300 by installing a pressure sensor on the belt 300, but rather installs a pressure sensor on the sturdy male buckle 200. By installing and measuring, costs can be reduced and the structure can be simplified.
상술한 예들 중, 차량에 있는 센서로 탑승자가 시트에 착석한 것으로 인식되었지만 안전벨트를 부정 착용한 것으로 판단되는 경우, 제어부(500)는 일 예로 경고음이나 경고등을 작동시켜 탑승자가 안전벨트를 정상 착용할 수 있도록 유도할 수 있으며, 다른 일 예로 차량의 시동이 걸리지 않도록 하는 등 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 각종 조치가 취해지도록 할 수 있다. Among the above-mentioned examples, if the occupant is recognized as sitting in the seat by a sensor in the vehicle, but it is determined that the seat belt is worn improperly, the control unit 500 activates a warning sound or a warning light, for example, to ensure that the occupant is properly wearing the seat belt. It can be encouraged to do so, and as another example, various measures can be taken to prevent accidents, such as preventing the vehicle from starting.
한편, 암버클(100)은 차량의 시트 부근에 고정되게 마련되는바 전원선이 암버클(100)에 구비되는 각종 센서에 직접 연결될 수 있으나, 수버클(200)은 벨트(300) 상에 마련되어 있으며 고정되어 있지 않고 사람의 체형에 따라 이동되어야 하는바 수버클(200)에 구비되는 각종 센서에 전원선이 직접 연결되기 곤란하다. 따라서, 상술한 바와 같이 제1 압력센서(210) (및 제2 압력센서(220))가 구비되는 수버클(200)은, 암버클(100)과의 체결시 암버클(100)을 통해 전원이 공급될 수 있도록 구성될 수 있다. 일 예로, 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)은, 상호 간의 체결시 제1 압력센서(210) (및 제2 압력센서(220))로 전원을 공급하는 전원제공회로(400)가 구비될 수 있으며, 구체적으로 암버클(100)과 수버클(200) 간의 체결시 반드시 맞닿는 부분이 생기게 되는데, 맞닿는 부분에 통전되는 도체를 사용하여 해당 단자와 각종 센서가 전기적으로 연결되도록 구성할 수 있다. 또한, 제1 압력센서(210)와 제2 압력센서(220)에서 측정된 압력 값의 전기적 신호가 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)의 결합시 통전되는 도체를 통하여 유선으로 제어부(500)로 전달되게 할 수도 있다. 이처럼 제어부(500)와 무선이 아닌 유선으로 연결이 가능하므로 고장율을 줄일 수 있다.Meanwhile, the female buckle 100 is provided to be fixed near the seat of the vehicle, so the power line can be directly connected to various sensors provided on the female buckle 100, but the male buckle 200 is provided on the belt 300. Since it is not fixed and must be moved according to the person's body shape, it is difficult to directly connect the power line to various sensors provided in the male buckle 200. Therefore, as described above, the male buckle 200 equipped with the first pressure sensor 210 (and the second pressure sensor 220) receives power through the female buckle 100 when fastened with the female buckle 100. It can be configured to provide this. As an example, the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are provided with a power supply circuit 400 that supplies power to the first pressure sensor 210 (and the second pressure sensor 220) when fastened to each other. It can be, and specifically, when fastening between the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200, a contact portion is created. The terminal and various sensors can be configured to be electrically connected using a conductor that conducts electricity at the contact portion. . In addition, the electrical signal of the pressure value measured by the first pressure sensor 210 and the second pressure sensor 220 is transmitted to the control unit 500 through a wired conductor when the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are coupled. ) can also be passed. In this way, since it is possible to connect to the control unit 500 by wire rather than wirelessly, the failure rate can be reduced.
도 9는 본 발명인 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치에 대한 예시 블록도이다. 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치는 도 9에 도시된 구성들 중에서 적어도 일부를 포함한다. 제1 압력 센서(210)는 압력 감지를 위한 잘 알려진 센서들 중의 하나일 수 있다. 일 실시예에 있어서, 제1 압력 센서(210)는 센서 모듈(211)과 연결 단자부(212)를 포함한다. 센서 모듈(211)은 외부로부터 물리적으로 가해지는 압력을 감지하는 압력 감지부(211-1)와 그 감지된 아날로그 압력 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하는 신호처리부(211-2)를 포함할 수 있다. 한편, 제2 압력 센서(220)도 제1 압력 센서(210)와 동일한 구성으로 이루어진 것일 수 있다.Figure 9 is an example block diagram of the device for preventing improper seat belt wearing according to the present invention. The device for preventing incorrect wearing of a seat belt includes at least some of the components shown in FIG. 9 . The first pressure sensor 210 may be one of the well-known sensors for pressure detection. In one embodiment, the first pressure sensor 210 includes a sensor module 211 and a connection terminal portion 212. The sensor module 211 may include a pressure detection unit 211-1 that detects pressure physically applied from the outside and a signal processing unit 211-2 that converts the detected analog pressure signal into a digital signal. Meanwhile, the second pressure sensor 220 may also have the same configuration as the first pressure sensor 210.
연결 단자부(212)는 암버클(100) 측으로부터 전원을 공급받기 위한 단자와 신호 송수신을 위한 단자를 포함할 수 있으며, 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)의 체결에 따라 암버클(100) 측에 마련된 전기적 단자들과 물리적으로 연결이 이루어질 수 있다. 그에 따라, 제1 압력 센서(210)의 센서 모듈(211)은 전원제공회로(400)로부터 전원을 공급받아 동작이 가능해지며, 압력 감지부(211-1)에 의해 감지된 압력은 신호처리부(211-2)에 의해 신호 처리되어 연결 단자부(212)를 통해 제어부(500)로 전달되게 된다.The connection terminal portion 212 may include a terminal for receiving power from the female buckle 100 side and a terminal for transmitting and receiving signals, and the female buckle 100 may be connected according to fastening of the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200. ) can be physically connected to the electrical terminals provided on the side. Accordingly, the sensor module 211 of the first pressure sensor 210 can operate by receiving power from the power supply circuit 400, and the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit 211-1 is transmitted to the signal processing unit ( The signal is processed by 211-2) and transmitted to the control unit 500 through the connection terminal unit 212.
제어부(500)는 암버클(100)과 수버클(200)이 체결되면 수버클(200) 측의 압력 센서들과 전기적으로 연결되어 제1 압력 센서(210)의 감지 압력 및/또는 제2 압력 센서(2210)의 감지 압력에 따라 안전벨트가 정상 착용되었는지 아니면 부정 착용되었는지를 판단한다. 또한, 제어부(500)는 기울기 센서의 감지 기울기에 따라 안전벨트가 정상 착용되었는지 아니면 부정 착용되었는지를 판단할 수 있다. 부정 착용으로 판단될 경우, 제어부(500)는 경고 알림부(600)를 통해 안전벨트가 부정 착용되었음을 외부로 경고 알림할 수 있다. 경고 알림부(600)는 스피커나 클러스터 등일 수 있으며, 이들을 통해 부정 착용을 알리는 경고음을 출력하거나 경고등을 표시한다. 그리고 제어부(500)는 본 발명의 구조상 수버클(200)에도 설치 가능하며, 수버클(200)이나 암버클(100)이 아닌, 차량 내부에도 설치 가능하다.When the female buckle 100 and the male buckle 200 are fastened, the control unit 500 is electrically connected to the pressure sensors on the male buckle 200 side and detects the pressure and/or the second pressure of the first pressure sensor 210. Depending on the pressure detected by the sensor 2210, it is determined whether the seat belt is worn properly or improperly. Additionally, the control unit 500 may determine whether the seat belt is worn properly or improperly according to the tilt detected by the tilt sensor. If it is determined that the seat belt has been worn illegally, the control unit 500 may notify the outside through the warning notification unit 600 that the seat belt has been worn illegally. The warning notification unit 600 may be a speaker or a cluster, and outputs a warning sound or displays a warning light to indicate improper wearing. In addition, the control unit 500 can be installed in the male buckle 200 due to the structure of the present invention, and can be installed inside the vehicle, not in the male buckle 200 or the female buckle 100.
상술한 바와 같은 본 발명인 안전벨트 부정착용 방지장치는, 제1 압력센서(210)를 통해 벨트(300)가 연결되지 않은 수버클 클립만을 암버클(200)에 꽂는 부정 착용과, 벨트클립(10)으로 벨트(300)를 느슨하게 착용하는 부정 착용을 방지할 수 있다. 이에 더하여, 제2 압력센서(220) 또는/및 기울기 센서(110)를 통해 벨트(300)를 착용하지 않고 등 뒤에 위치되도록 하는 부정 착용을 효과적으로 방지할 수 있다.As described above, the device for preventing improper seat belt wearing of the present invention prevents improper wearing by inserting only the male buckle clip, which is not connected to the belt 300, into the female buckle 200 through the first pressure sensor 210, and the belt clip 10 ) can prevent improper wearing of the belt 300 loosely. In addition, it is possible to effectively prevent improper wearing of the belt 300 by placing it behind the back without wearing it through the second pressure sensor 220 or/and the tilt sensor 110.
이처럼 본 발명은 안전벨트를 부정 착용하는 다양한 예들을 모두 방지할 수 있는바, 안전벨트의 정상 착용을 통한 탑승자의 안전을 확보할 수 있다.In this way, the present invention can prevent various examples of improperly wearing seat belts, and can ensure the safety of passengers through normal wearing of seat belts.
